Shinobi is a good guess, that does fit the description pretty well but its not that, or Dragon Ninja. I'll give you as much detail as I possibly can, but it was a long time ago..
Format was definitely 8bit, I had it on the C64 and never saw it on anything more advanced. It was set in the past, possibly about the 16th century. The enemies were mostly grey from what I remember but there were different coloured ones. Knives and throwing stars could be picked up by pressing down when you were stood over them. There were outside and inside areas and I remember the animation for walking was pretty ropey. As for colours the hero was black with no other colours and the enemies were just a clone of the hero, I think they were mostly grey but there were different coloured ones to denote different ranks.
The most memorable thing for me was the way you could fly up through the holes in one giant leap taking you off the top of the screen into a new area of the temple. That's about all I can remember I'm afraid!
